The Argentinian drived all the attacks and it was him that scored the 0-1. Messi gave Barça the lead in a play that seemed to end badly. But Leo pressed strongly, won the bounce and scored.

The goal gave Barça power and between the 10' and the 40', the team created lots of chances. Another time Messi assisted Arthur, who saw Piqué alone and passed him the ball inside the penalty area. But the centre-back was not accurate and Soria denied him the goal. However, Luis Suárez did not miss his chance. His volley shot from outside the penalty area surprised Soria. It was the 0-2 and it seemed that the match was over, but Getafe scored fastly the 1-2 before the half time.
